eam members should support initiatives set up by the leader after they have been approved and improved by the rest of the group.
This places importance on the value of collaboration where members play an active role in the execution of tasks instead of the leader dictating what should be done and the members following his instructions without questioning it.
leadership example
in Year 11 I had multiple leadership roles. As house captain I was the leader of around 25 pupils, and as the sports and rugby captain, I had to make tough decisions in quick succession, and I managed to create a group of non-rugby players into a serious and hard-working team. I was also my form representative, so I relayed queries back and forwards with the school council and I’m a member of the college medical society.
